Sylvia Kristel in pictures: Star of erotic 1974 French film "Emmanuelle"

With her second husband, a paparazzo photographer and film producer, Phillipe Blot, whose projects she helped to finance, she made a motorcycling film called The Arrogant, and another called Dracula’s Widow (both 1988). But by the time they divorced she was so badly in debt that the bailiffs were called in and she lost her apartment in Los Angeles, and houses in Holland, Paris and Ramatuelle on the French Riviera.Picture: Rex Features
